According the the owner of a local Toyota dealer (who's been in business since '68), the Kujira Crown was never "officially" sold in the US. A few dealers specially ordered a few of them but they weren't intended for the US market, and were not sold at very many dealers. according to him, the MS55 wast the last official US-market Crown.

You may be right, but Toyotareference.com not only shows it being imported in 1971/2, but even has a brochure for it. But hey, if I'm wrong, I'll take the Javelin.

Actually, now that I think about it, was the Datsun 610 hardtop available in the US in '72?
